For Firefox and Safari, you can use: `:root { font-synthesis: none; } ` (or
apply it to the specific elements). Chromium builds still don’t support that
(bad, bad…), and I can’t remember off hand if Edge supports it.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-synthesis

What is the computed value for the element in question? There could be many
other reasons though, hard to say without seeing the pages
